Our airplane has been in the shop for it's annual inspection for the past couple of weeks. BooHoo, no little trips during the weekends. No real loss, the weekend weather has been pretty bad lately!
The mechanic wanted to do some maintenance on the landing gear - so while he had them removed from the airplane......we thought it was an excellent time to remove the rust and repaint. Easy, peasy, right?
Wrong! This entire past weekend, we spent de-greasing, sandblasting, paint-stripping, more de-greasing, priming and epoxy painting. Wow, what a job!! Lot's of hours spent standing on concrete - we're not used to that!
The end result was quite nice, if I do say so myself!!! Of course, it will be dirty and greasy soon enough....but not rusty!
Airplane is going back together now!
See, doesn't that look nice back where it belongs?
